The Sebastopol
Image: © Richard Croft Taken: 7 Mar 2015
Popular pub / restaurant in Minting, The oldest parts are reputedly 16th century and it was a coaching inn en-route to the coast. Local tradition is that the inn was called 'The Beer House' until 1855 when the magistrate conducting the inquest of a man drowned in the beck insisted that it be given a proper name and the contemporary Crimean War siege of Sebastopol provided the inspiration.
